MG C Roadster

The MGC’s bonnet gives the game away. Underneath those distinctive bulges sits the six-cylinder engine that gives this handsome British roadster its character—and plenty of muscle to go with it.

Finished in Old English White with a contrasting black interior, black soft top and wire wheels, this is a car we know very well. It is also well known in Irish classic car circles, and one we are always pleased to see back with us.

Out on the road, it is easy to understand the appeal. This is a seriously strong performer, with loads of pulling power and a lovely six-cylinder soundtrack. The four-speed manual gearbox with overdrive makes good use of that performance, whether enjoying a back road or settling into a longer journey. A very good car to drive, and one that encourages you to keep going.

We fitted electric power steering to the car a number of years ago, making parking and low-speed manoeuvring considerably easier. It is a worthwhile addition that makes this particular MGC all the more enjoyable to use.

Recently treated to a major service and a new fuel pump, it has also benefited from a replacement roof. It comes with a Heritage Certificate, adding to the appeal of an established and well-known car.

The black interior, traditional instruments and three-spoke sports steering wheel provide exactly the setting you want in a classic roadster. Outside, the Old English White paintwork, chrome detailing and wire wheels make a combination that is hard to improve upon.

A proper six-cylinder British sports car with the performance, character and usability to make every outing worthwhile. Just allow a little extra time for the journey home.
